Bakersfield Travel Guide
California, United States
Bakersfield is a city of 373,640 people in California, United States. It is an inland destination rather than a coastal resort, so its setting is quite different from California’s beach cities.
Most visitors arriving by air use Meadows Field Airport (BFL), which serves the city. There are no notable named beaches within 40 kilometres of Bakersfield, so beach trips require travelling farther afield.
